the hilt is made of jade, and the mounts are thin brass, i guess, sure not gilded silver.
The lower scabbard mount is an old leather, looks to be very old replacement (i guess lower brass mount was missed).
Looks like 18th century piece, but kindjals on the Caucasus appeared in use in early 19th c, so i guess this blade is persian influented.
When i receive the item i will shot close-ups.
